Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Hot Tuna Aqua Water Shoes is straightforward. Simply slide your feet into the shoes. The integrated pull tab at the heel assists in easily putting them on. Ensure they feel snug but not uncomfortably tight.

These water shoes are designed for adults and are compatible with a wide array of water-based activities and environments. They are perfect for:
- Swimming and wading
- Beach walks and rock pooling
- Boating, sailing, and paddle sports
- Fishing and river exploration
- Poolside use
They are not designed as replacements for hiking boots or athletic trainers for high-impact land sports.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your water shoes:
- Rinse After Use: After each use, especially in saltwater or chlorinated water, rinse the shoes thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove sand, salt, and chemicals.
- Air Dry: Allow the shoes to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), as these can damage the materials and cause cracking or fading.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry these shoes.
- Mild Cleaning: For stubborn dirt, gently scrub with a soft brush and a mild soap solution, then rinse thoroughly.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place once fully dry, away from extreme temperatures.
